Geological Survey of Finland, Espoo, Finland, 159 pp. ISBN 978-952-217-201-3 Geological Survey of Finland Espoo 2012 4 Preface This Abstract Volume contains seventy four abstracts submitted to the Supercontinent 2012 Symposium to be held during Sept. 25-28, 2012 at the Kumpula Campus of the University of Helsinki, Finland (http://supercontinent2012.helsinki.fi/). The four days symposium focuses on current knowledge and problems regarding supercontinent research with a focus on the Precambrian era. Some seventy geoscientists from around the world will arrive in Helsinki to discuss the recent developments and problems in the research of supercontinents, their assemblies and break-ups and to raise new ideas. The Symposium will be preceded by an Excursion through seven geological landmark sites in Finland. Twenty seven scientists will participate in the excursion. This Volume is edited by Satu Mertanen, Lauri J. Pesonen, Pathamawan Sangchan and Ella Koljonen. We thank Kari Jääskeläinen, Tuire Laine, Robert Klein, Tommi Vuorinen, Johanna Salminen and Toni Veikkolainen for their help in preparing this Volume and the Symposium. The publishing of the Abstract Volume was made possible with the help of the Geological Survey of Finland. The symposium would not be possible without the help of scholarships by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters and financial and logistic support by cities and towns of Helsinki, Keuruu, Lappajärvi, Rovaniemi and Tervola. We also thank Keijo Hämäläinen, Kaarlo Hämeri, Tuulikki Pitkänen, Anu Palo and Pirjo Käyhkö for their help in organising the Symposium.
